ti* 19 V.UULX It Jf • He was exceedingly careful himself, and regretted that the Government did not take an early interest in the subject us was done iu foreign countries and appoint authorities to superintend vaccinations of the poor and prevent the sale of vaccine which was not of the pureet quality. Dr. Martin laid great stress upon the subject of the appearance of scars left, believing that the mark should present a certain form and appearance to show successful vaccination. During the latter part of Uie war Dr. Martin was surgeon-in-chief under General Hancock’s command of the First division, Second corps, of his State. During this time hehad an opportunitvof examining the arms of a large number of soldiers vaccinated in childhood and he encountered almoet every kind of scar. He noticed that cicatrices of men from Wurtemberg, Bavaria, and other German states were far superior to those from Great Britain, and the fatter of a superior character to those of the American soldier. Apparently in no country had vaccination, up to that time, been carried on less successfully than in the United States, both in the character of the work done and in the extent of its
practice.
| The protective power of cowpox inocu- ^ lation against smallpox was discovered by
Edward Jenner, who was born in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England, May 11, 1749. His degree of M. D. was obtained from St. Andrews in 17*2. His practice was confined chiefly to Berkeley and Cheltenham. Jenner began in 1775 and worked for live years before he could surmount the difficulties which prevented him from brintring the matter of vaccination before the public. Cowpox was scarce in the dairies at this time, but*! last. May 14,1796, be inoculated a boy, James Phipp, with virus and found later on inoculating the child with smallpox matter that the disease was baffled. Still it was years before Jenner’s new idea ceased to be ridiculed, and was sent forth as a scientific discovery to save millions of litas. The practice of vaccination spread over England in 1799 and early in this centunr into the different countries of Eurepe. Wild was the enthusiasm with which the idea was hailed when its full
jpf;.
value became known. James Phipps became a hero. The date of his vaccination and the birthdav of Jenner were made annual festivals of rejoicing in Germany. In some countries religious processions were formeddor receiving.y»ccination, and clerevmen in Geneva and Holland from the pulpit urged it upon their parishioners. The Empressof fiussia effused the first child vaccinated ift her country to be caUed Vaocinott', and to be educated at the public expense, and in 1803 the court of Spain sent out an eapedition to distribute cow-pox through all its possessions, which returned in three years, having circumnavigated the
globe.
MARTIN.
Jenner won honors in many medical societies, but was over-run and imposed upon in many cases. Men tried to rob him of the honor of having discovered vaccination, and his theories wore claimed by others as their original property. Still Jenner’s real knowledge of the subject gained him many victories He received raobh praise, and was so loaded down with correspondence that he called himself the ‘‘vaccine clerk of the whole world.” His intercessions secured the release of English prisoners in France, and a bitef bis handwriting furnished passports in mtay cases. He received a grant of £10,000 fr* m Parliament, but with such difficulty as to cause the expenditure of a greater part of that sum. Later another grant of £20JW0 was secured for him without any eharfee f< r fees. Jenner died January 20, 1623. The medical men of his country erected a statua of him in Gloucester cathedral, and later, in 18- 8, a statue of him was erected in London by public subscription. L ..,«*! .. BtSCgPTIBUJTY TO COWPOX INFECTION. The susceptibility to cowpox infection diminishes with aee and therefore all vaccinators urge the eariy vaccination of children. la has been said that infants should be vaccinated before they are many weeks old. 1b Eayland about two-thirdrof all in-
8wise cantons it Is compulsory, tod is most countries where there Is no law of this kind it is made necetaary to soldiers, State employes, school pupils, etc. In almost sll American States there are now vaccination statutes, though Canada shows less Interest in the matter. Smallpox was formerly the greatest scourge of Christendom, and was almost universal in Europe. In 1720, after fierce opposition. Lady Mary Wortley Montague, a writer and the highly educated wife ot a member of the House of Commons, succeeded in introducing the practice of smallpox inoculation, as she had seen it performed in Turkey, into Europe. This produced the disesie in a light form that protected against the more severe malady, but as extreme cases of the disease may be contracted from the lighter ones this established a source of contagion Which made smallpox more prevalent after its use than before. The plan of smallpox inoculation was introduced into America by Dr. Woodville, an Eastern college professor, and it was practiced until after Jennsr’s discovery was announced and until the value of animal vaccination became known. March 26, 1866, a case of spontaneous cowpox was discovered in Beaugency, France, which became famous in the history of vaccinia. Professor Dupal. “director de la Vaccine,” went immediately to inspect the rase, and found as reported a young milch cow which had the disease and exhibited the typical vesicles. With a view to testing the case, another cow and two children were vaecinated from the virus with the best of success. M. Bechemier and several other physicians then visited Beaugency, obtained some of the virus, carried it to Orleans, and vaccinated a calf. Of six experiments only one was ; successful, owing probably to the inexperi- j enced manner in which {he vaccine was ap- ' plied. From this successful vaccination | another calf and several children were vac- ; cinated, and from this calf Professor Dupal j began the propagation of the vaccine virus which for many years was the only "stock” | known. From Dupal’s producting-tbe late Henry A. Martin procured the supply with which, in 1870, he began the pronagation of bovine virus in America. Dr. Martin, fearing the deterioration of the virus by a long series I of beifer-to-heifer propagation, ollered a j reward to any one who found a case of spontaneous cowpox in America. After several “wild goose chases” and many disappointments he found a genuine and spontaneous case iu Cohasset, Mass. This answering successfully to his tests, he continued the propagation from this new source as well as the old. In 1876 Dr. H. M. Alexander; of Marietta, Pa., who is widely known in medioal circles and who now has the largest vaccine farm in the world, became interested in the subject of vaccine virus, and kept a continual lookout for cases of spontaneous cowpox and was rewarded January 28,188o, by having a case reported to him from the farm of Henry Fletcher about a mile from Marietta. Dr. Alexander went out to examine the case and found it to be genuine. The vaccine collected from this source was

from the soil, infect the atmosphere. This ‘ground theory,’ of which Pcttenkofl’er is the chief advocate, is not gaining ground; there seems reason to believe that it is sometimes the source of the prevalence of the disease—that at least the germs are elaborated widely in the soil; but it is more reasonable to assume os the modus operand! of this theory that instead of inlecting the atmosphere and so reaching the individual, it widely infects local sources of water supply. It is so well established that typhoid fever does surely infect through drinking water that it must be taken as a general rule that this is the common medium of its distribution; that the apparently complex etiology is resolv-

than with the old virus. PROPAGATING THE VIRUS.
There is considerable difference & the methods of propagating animal virus in this country. Many frauds have been practiced. Examinations of points that didn’t “take” in one case discovered a large stock covered
with mucilage instead of vaccine.
. The early-time practice of arm to arm vaccination gave rise to so much difficulty in the transmission of blood and skin diseases that the profession gladly hailed the’ idea of Dr. Martin to use an ivory “point,” which he intended to be nsed as a lancet, thus avoiding any risk in using an instrument which might not be perfectly aseptic. Before the use of ivory, quills were used, and also crusts or scabs, the latter having tinee been entirely denounced. Tubes of fluid lymph are still nsed, these requiring
especially careful preparation.
Dr. Paul Gibier, medical director of the
Pasteur Institute of New York, says:
“In our ‘farm’ in Paris we prepare it according to the modern teachings of bacteti- ‘ ~ If we consider vaccine from its
we find that it it taken from some
icles which grow on certain parts of the cow and also on the legs of horses. The, liquid of these vesicles is used to cultivate vaccine ob the heifer, and from one heifer to another. At first we ascertain that the animals are not affected with tuberepiosis, and if the temperature rises after injecting tuberculine the animal is not used. The sides of the heifer or young calf are then shaved, cleaned and disinfected, as if for a surgical operation. The inoculations a.c now made with a lancet in thirty or more places on the sides, the parts being protected with a thick coat of sterilized cotton, maintained with bandages. After a few days, if the places show the characteristic eruptions of vaccine, special forceps are apliea around the points of inoculation. Some lymph then exudes clear. We collect it in sterilized pipettes. After having been mixed with a preservative composition, the lymph is introduced into small glass tubes, which are -sealed afterward with the flame of an oxhydrie lamp. The vaccine virus prepared in this Way is as perfect as it can be. This is why, alter many years’ trial, it has been adopted by the French government for the colleges, schools and army, and also for the hospitals of Parle and boards of health in Paris and many other
cities of France.”
The Paauin vaccine laboratory of Columbia, Mo., began its existence iu 1886, when Dr. Paul Paquin returned from Europe, where he had been sent by the State University to study under the emiuentecicntista of France, and began the. production of vaccine for the State with the virus of Europe’s best etables. In 1890 the board of curators decided to tdiscontinue the production of vaccine as a State institution, and Dr. D. D. Moss was given the post of managing eecretary of the “farm.” A place of two hundred acres was finally purchased after the business had outgrown its quarters on the edge of town. These buildings are situated op conveniently high ground just outside of Columbia and the animals are obtained from herds belonging to the establishment or those in the immediate neighborhood, thus avoiding long drives to which cattle are so often sub-
jected. *

Dr. Moss saye: “We use the beef brands of cattle, as they are less likely to tubercu- ' losis, and select nearly altogether from the short-horn heifers.” This institution prepares the virus upon ivory points only and coats them with the virus irom two difier- i ent animals with the am of # flue brush.

And then he went away. 1 spent nearly two years on the work. I talked to many of the old citizens, but none of them could agree as to dates, and 1 had to hunt around and find some one who was sure of the data. The late Berry Sulgrove helped me, and many weary hours he and I put in going over the files of the newspapers. The papers of twenty years ago did not make such full reports of events a$ they do now, and we often had to chase down some important fact that was barely mentioned in the paper. 1 was not sorry when the work was finished.” "Was the book a financial success?” “Hardly. I thought that the people would fairly tumble over each other in a mad rush to become the possessors of copies of my history of Indianapolis, and I did not think it necessary to get subscribers before sending the manuscript to the printers. After the book was out I found that there was a great demand for it. but everybody wanted a copy for nothing. Every man that put in an advertisement insisted that a book shouldtbe lurmshed free, and each one would get mad and swear when I would hint that the book cost me a good deal of money and 1 could not afiord to give it away. The book was quite popular, but no one wanted to pay anything for it. Men who were almost millionaires wanted me to make them a present of a copy. “Things began to look blue for me and I saw that I was going to be a heavy loser. After a deal of trouble I got the City Couu- t cil to buy two thousand copies at §1 each i and that helped me out a little, but as the books cost me 61.19 apiece it was not a paying investment. After all the returns were in I was about $10 out of pocket and two years of the hardest work I ever did in my life were gone for nothing. That was my last effort at literature and I have had no desire to be a writer of books since.”
*** \
There is considerable typhoid fever in the city, according to the reports in the health office, and the charge is made that one of the causes for it is that there are so many sewers building. City Engineer Brown does not believe in this theory. “I have given the subject of typhoid fever a great deal of stud”, and I think that I am able to nnderswnd^it,” said Mr. Brown. "The theory that the fever is the result of sewage is a mistaken one. The conditions on which typhoid fever depend are clearly such as are about twice as operative iu the country as iu the city. One of these is that in the country the source of drinking water is more likely to be infected with typhoid fev<r germs than in the city, which takes its supply from a source not liable to such infection. American and English physicians agree that the most frequent way for the : infection to reach the individual is through the drinking water. On the continent the profession is divided between this opinion, which may be called-
the ‘water theory,’ of
That is a question that I have not had
tilme to consider, and, therefore, I can only speak in an off-hand manner. All the sewage of the city goes into the river. None of it is emptied into Fall creek, as many people think, unless there be some private sewers that flow into that stream. I have examined the filter galleries of the Water Company.and if the water comes from there, there is probably no cause for complaint. It is understood that the company has a connection with the river foF use in case of
emergency. If there is such a connection, :• it is below Washington street. There are jp ^ convention or an election, two sewers discharging into White river " A ~ T

the Agnes and Bright-street sewers. These sewers are both designed for surface water, bnt there is more than a suspicion that people living along the lines of both of these sewers have made house connections without permission, and every such house connection adds to the pollution of the river. So it is plain that if the river water was used direct, it would be a good cause for the spread of typhoid fever.” “Do you believe that sewers should be flushed? It is said that flushing of sewers spreads the cisease.” SHOULD FLUSH SEWERS. - “I am decidely of the opinion that the sewers of this city should be flushed. In some cities the fall is sufficient to carry off the entire sewage, but most of our sewers are built flat. They must be large to accommodate the surface water and in ordinary time the flow is not enough to prevent deposits which will decay and produce
gases.”
“Could Fall creek be used to flush the
sewers of the city?”
“I don't think that it could, for none of the sewers are below that stream except perhaps the upper end of the State-ditch sewer. The water of the stream could not be turned into the sewer. I j do not think that the water plant \ would have to be made of greater capacity in order thoroughly to flush the sewers of the city. In the specifications we have arranged for flush-tanks for the small sewers, j but as yet no arrangements have been made with the Water Company for the use of the tanks. The Board of Public Works will take up that matter in a short time. 1 am convinced that the idea that the great amount of sewer worK. that is going ou here has anything to do with the spread of
typhoid fever is an error.”
The Board of Police Commissioners haa made a rule that is likely to cause weeping ; and gnashing of teeth among the “trooly ! loll.” Section 105 of the city charter reads
thus:
It shall be unlawful for said Commissioners of Public Sa ety, or any persons appointed by them or their predecessors, or holding any position on said fire or police torce, to solicit any person to vote at any election for any 1 candidate, or to challenge any voter* or in any 1
r attempt to influence a such election, or to be a delegate sate to any political conven
said Mr.
White, “and it must stop, I know that Democrats and Republicans in both police and fire departments pay little attention to this law. Perhaps they do not know that there is such a law, but they will know it as soon as the book of rules is issued, and then there will be no excuse for dts viola-
tion.”
It is a question that will go to the city
attorney whether this law applies to the special policemen appointed by the board, i The board does not make such appoint- j ments, but simply Confers police powers. This would affect the merchants’ patrol, if the city attorney should decide that the
special police come uilder the law. Some of the members of the finance com- j
